NAME

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

If the argument notification is not NULL, this function shall register the calling process to be notified of message
arrival at an empty message queue associated with the specified message queue descriptor, mqdes. The notification specified
by the notification argument shall be sent to the process when the message queue transitions from empty to non-empty. At any
time, only one process may be registered for notification by a message queue. If the calling process or any other process has
already registered for notification of message arrival at the specified message queue, subsequent attempts to register for that
message queue shall fail.

If notification is NULL and the process is currently registered for notification by the specified message queue, the
existing registration shall be removed.

When the notification is sent to the registered process, its registration shall be removed. The message queue shall then be
available for registration.

If a process has registered for notification of message arrival at a message queue and some thread is blocked in mq_receive() waiting to receive a message when a message arrives at the queue, the
arriving message shall satisfy the appropriate mq_receive(). The resulting
behavior is as if the message queue remains empty, and no notification shall be sent.

RETURN VALUE

Upon successful completion, the mq_notify() function shall return a value of zero; otherwise, the function shall return a
value of -1 and set errno to indicate the error.

ERRORS

The mq_notify() function shall fail if:

[EBADF]

The mqdes argument is not a valid message queue descriptor.

[EBUSY]

A process is already registered for notification by the message queue.
